As a fourth (and final) year CS student, I wouldn't be surprised if a non-cs grad accumulated enough real-world programming knowledge/skills to get a job. If I were a non-cs grad looking for a career in programming, I'd just read up on some

You don't need a prototype. Absolutely not. But is there an advantage to raising money before you have a prototype? I'd say no, although it may vary case by case. Instead of focussing and building your product, now you have to build your pr

Are the musicians before us better? Are the artists before us better? Who's to say? Better questions are..has the best song already been written? the best painting already created? Sure, now we have more tools and low barrier to entry, that

I try to stay out of these "learn to code" conversations due to being crucified for believing that it takes years to become a programmer who can create anything of value or significant complexity. I've helped TA for CS classes and aided ne

"many of those individuals seem eager to accept due in part to the opportunity Apple represents to build new product, instead of just doing “tedious updates” on a largely complete platform." Apparently, doing "tedious updates" on google map

Any solution that has to do with upgrading/renovating infrastructure would likely be a huge failure in California. A private bus line for start-up employees would certainly be feasible solution.

I see big companies run private bus lines from SF to South Bay. Has anyone considered starting a subscription based private bus line for employees of start-ups or smaller companies making the same commute? I'd imagine there'd be significant

"Part of the problem is that affluent tech workers want to have their cake and eat it too-everyone wants to live in cool, trendy neighborhoods in SF, and commute to their fancy jobs in the Valley." It's a little unfair to make it seem like

Does this writer assume CS is simply a tool used in other industries? There should be CS departments as long as we want to advance the power and reach of computing.

I judge a CEO by what he or she instagrams about the company and how the employees contribute their 2 cents to the company logo. Ok, excuse the sarcasm. But I don't see what this tells us about Yahoo! or Meyers performance as a CEO. I'd lik

'Martin Luther King, Jr. told us that “human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.” Turns out he knew something about entrepreneurs.' Good line to end on... I think it depends on who's judging that entrepreneur. It take

I live near the Marina district of SF...while there are many coffee shops in the district, none provide a decent atmosphere for coding. I'd love to try out the Mechanics institute.

The locations of these photos are pretty significant to the etymologies of many groups of people, spanning from modern day Turks, Koreans, Japanese, and even Native Americans. (at least some people have proposed this). http://en.wikipedia.

Computer science should only be offered as a minor. You can major in biology, minor in computer science. Major in art, minor in computer science. But you can't get a degree in CS. The way university is structured, it would be nearly impossi

Apple just added shiny icons and took away the keyboard and stylus. BFD. I actually think that is a BFD. If it had a keyboard, the whole idea of dynamic UI's would not exist. Would anyone think that angry birds is cool if we had to play it

I thought in 1999 most companies just slapped ".com" to the end of their company name and raised $50m from VC's without accomplishing anything or solving a specific problem.
